The  signs, present in bars 151 and 153 in A (→GE), are the original version of notation of these ornaments. In analogous bars 155 and 157, Chopin already used mordents; what is more, in the proofreading of FE he changed  to  also in bar 151 (most probably he wanted to do it in bar 153 too, yet the engraver of FE must have deleted , but forgot to insert ). EE repeated  after FE in bar 151 and added  – by analogy – in bar 153.

e2 tied in A (→GE) & EE

The missing tie of e2 in FE is certainly a mistake, corrected in EE, most probably on the basis of comparison with analogous bars.

FE overlooked the staccato dot at the beginning of bar 169. EE also omitted the one in bar 170 – another oversight or a uniformising revision.

The naturals before fourths, opening each of the group of semiquavers, are written in A (→GE1→FE) only in the 1st and 4th groups. EE and GE2 include the correct text.

FE (→EE1) has b as the 3rd semiquaver. Corrections of this mistake made in pencil are in FED and FEJ, the correct text was introduced also in EE2 (→EE3).
